#### Switching Between Machine Profiles

Your license must have the IP Measure option for the Save Machine Profile and Recall Machine menu items to appear.

These two menu items let you easily switch between machine profiles when you create measurement routines in Offline mode.

Edit | Preferences | Save Machine Profile - This menu item displays a Save As dialog box that asks for a file name. It records all the current settings for the virtual machine in a file with an "mpl" file name extension. PC-DMIS saves the following into the file for later recall:

- Loaded machine model

- Loaded tool changer model

- Rotary table settings

- Mount orientation for the probe

- Starting default probe component (PH10, CW43, and so on)

- Active probe file

- Any "fixed" quick fixture components

- Machine's speed settings and limits

Edit | Preferences | Recall Machine - This menu item lets you restore a machine's settings that were stored in an .mpl file. PC-DMIS displays an Open dialog box. Once you select the file to open, PC-DMIS restores the settings.
